A bonny lass, I like her best,
And wha a crime dare ca that?
For a' that, &c.

In rapture sweet this hour we meet,
Wi' mutual love and a' that;
But for how lang the flee may stang,
Let inclination law that.
For a' that, &c.

Their tricks and craft hae put me daft,
They've ta'en me in, and a' that;
But clear your decks and here's the sex.
I like the jades for a' that.
For a' that, &c.


MEG O' THE MILL.

O ken ye wha Meg o' the Mill has gotten,
O ken ye wha Meg of the Mill has gotten,
She has gotten a coof wi' a claut o'siller
And broken the heart o' the barley miller.

The miller was strappin, the miller was ruddy,
A heart like a lord, and a hue like a lady;
